Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the turnips using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated turnips in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the grated turnips.
Step 3
Add the flour, egg, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a sticky batter forms.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Using your hands or a spoon, form the turnip mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and place them into the hot skillet. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the patties and cook an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet as needed for additional batches.
Step 8
Serve the fried turnip patties warm as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce.
